I'm pretty diligent about doing once or twice daily upgrades on this machine, so it couldn't have been much past when the failure started to occur.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1039157] Re: vmwgfx kernel module not loaded by default
I am seeing this as well, while its not a huge issue on a desktop system, as can easily workaround via adding to /etc/modules. Its a big problem on the LiveCD's that fail to load vmwgfx (even if I pass in loadmodules=vmwgfx, via grub boot options) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-vmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1039157 Title: vmwgfx kernel module not loaded by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-vmware/+bug/1039157/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1039157] Re: vmwgfx kernel module not loaded by default
A couple of other observations `modinfo vmwgfx`, does not return any modalias' for this driver. I can't see anything in any of the logs to even suggest that the kernel made any attempt to load vmwgfx. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-vmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1039157 Title: vmwgfx kernel module not loaded by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-vmware/+bug/1039157/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
